Quoting myself from commit 2a010c412853 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec")

It seems we found out that someone is relying on this obscure behavior.
So revert the change.

Patch series "Improve the copy of task comm", v8.
Using {memcpy,strncpy,strcpy,kstrdup} to copy the task comm relies on the
length of task comm. Changes in the task comm could result in a
destination string that is overflow. Therefore, we should explicitly
ensure the destination string is always NUL-terminated, regardless of the
task comm. This approach will facilitate future extensions to the task
comm.
As suggested by Linus [0], we can identify all relevant code with the
following git grep command:
git grep 'memcpy.*->comm\>'
git grep 'kstrdup.*->comm\>'
git grep 'strncpy.*->comm\>'
git grep 'strcpy.*->comm\>'
PATCH #2~#4: memcpy
PATCH #5~#6: kstrdup
PATCH #7: strcpy
Please note that strncpy() is not included in this series as it is being
tracked by another effort. [1]
This patch (of 7):
We want to eliminate the use of __get_task_comm() for the following
reasons:
- The task_lock() is unnecessary
Quoted from Linus [0]:
: Since user space can randomly change their names anyway, using locking
: was always wrong for readers (for writers it probably does make sense
: to have some lock - although practically speaking nobody cares there
: either, but at least for a writer some kind of race could have
: long-term mixed results

commit 223baf9d17f25 ("sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid")
introduced a per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid), which keeps
a reference to the concurrency id allocated for each CPU. This reference
expires shortly after a 100ms delay.
These per-CPU references keep the per-mm-cid data cache-local in
situations where threads are running at least once on each CPU within
each 100ms window, thus keeping the per-cpu reference alive.
However, intermittent workloads behaving in bursts spaced by more than
100ms on each CPU exhibit bad cache locality and degraded performance
compared to purely per-cpu data indexing, because concurrency IDs are
allocated over various CPUs and cores, therefore losing cache locality
of the associated data.
Introduce the following changes to improve per-mm-cid cache locality:
- Add a "recent_cid" field to the per-mm/cpu mm_cid structure to keep
track of which mm_cid value was last used, and use it as a hint to
attempt re-allocating the same concurrency ID the next time this
mm/cpu needs to allocate a concurrency ID,
- Add a per-mm CPUs allowed mask, which keeps track of the union of
CPUs allowed for all threads belonging to this mm. This cpumask is
only set during the lifetime of the mm, never cleared, so it
represents the union of all the CPUs allowed since the beginning of
the mm lifetime (note that the mm_cpumask() is really arch-specific
and tailored to the TLB flush needs, and is thus _not_ a viable
approach for this),
- Add a per-mm nr_cpus_allowed to keep track of the weight of the
per-mm CPUs allowed mask (for fast access),
- Add a per-mm max_nr_cid to keep track of the highest number of
concurrency IDs allocated for the mm. This is used for expanding the
concurrency ID allocation within the upper bound defined by:
min(mm->nr_cpus_allowed, mm->mm_users)
When the next unused CID value reaches this threshold, stop trying
to expand the cid allocation and use the first available cid value
instead.
Spreading allocation to use all the cid values within the range
[ 0, min(mm->nr_cpus_allowed, mm->mm_users) - 1 ]
improves cache locality while preserving mm_cid compactness within the
expected user limits,
- In __mm_cid_try_get, only return cid values within the range
[ 0, mm->nr_cpus_allowed ] rather than [ 0, nr_cpu_ids ]. This
prevents allocating cids above the number of allowed cpus in
rare scenarios where cid allocation races with a concurrent
remote-clear of the per-mm/cpu cid. This improvement is made
possible by the addition of the per-mm CPUs allowed mask,
- In sched_mm_cid_migrate_to, use mm->nr_cpus_allowed rather than
t->nr_cpus_allowed. This criterion was really meant to compare
the number of mm->mm_users to the number of CPUs allowed for the
entire mm. Therefore, the prior comparison worked fine when all
threads shared the same CPUs allowed mask, but not so much in
scenarios where those threads have different masks (e.g. each
thread pinned to a single CPU). This improvement is made
possible by the addition of the per-mm CPUs allowed mask.
* Benchmarks
Each thread increments 16kB worth of 8-bit integers in bursts, with
a configurable delay between each thread's execution. Each thread run
one after the other (no threads run concurrently). The order of
thread execution in the sequence is random. The thread execution
sequence begins again after all threads have executed. The 16kB areas
are allocated with rseq_mempool and indexed by either cpu_id, mm_cid
(not cache-local), or cache-local mm_cid. Each thread is pinned to its
own core.
Testing configurations:
8-core/1-L3: Use 8 cores within a single L3
24-core/24-L3: Use 24 cores, 1 core per L3
192-core/24-L3: Use 192 cores (all cores in the system)
384-thread/24-L3: Use 384 HW threads (all HW threads in the system)
Intermittent workload delays between threads: 200ms, 10ms.
Hardware:
CPU(s): 384
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-383
Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD
Model name: AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core Processor
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 96
Socket(s): 2
Caches (sum of all):
L1d: 6 MiB (192 instances)
L1i: 6 MiB (192 instances)
L2: 192 MiB (192 instances)
L3: 768 MiB (24 instances)
Each result is an average of 5 test runs. The cache-local speedup
is calculated as: (cache-local mm_cid) / (mm_cid).

Fix the stack start address calculation for the parisc architecture in
setup_arg_pages() when address randomization is disabled. When the
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE process personality is disabled there is no need to add
additional space for the stack.
Note that this patch touches code inside an #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP hunk,
which is why only the parisc architecture is affected since it's the
only Linux architecture where the stack grows upwards.
Without this patch you will find the stack in the middle of some
mapped libaries and suddenly limited to 6MB instead of 8MB:

The vma_shrink() and vma_expand() functions are internal VMA manipulation
functions which we ought to abstract for use outside of memory management
code.
To achieve this, we replace shift_arg_pages() in fs/exec.c with an
invocation of a new relocate_vma_down() function implemented in mm/mmap.c,
which enables us to also move move_page_tables() and vma_iter_prev_range()
to internal.h.
The purpose of doing this is to isolate key VMA manipulation functions in
order that we can both abstract them and later render them easily
testable.

Both i_mode and noexec checks wrapped in WARN_ON stem from an artifact
of the previous implementation. They used to legitimately check for the
condition, but that got moved up in two commits:
633fb6ac3980 ("exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier")
0fd338b2d2cd ("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier")
Instead of being removed said checks are WARN_ON'ed instead, which
has some debug value.
However, the spurious path_noexec check is racy, resulting in
unwarranted warnings should someone race with setting the noexec flag.
One can note there is more to perm-checking whether execve is allowed
and none of the conditions are guaranteed to still hold after they were
tested for.
Additionally this does not validate whether the code path did any perm
checking to begin with -- it will pass if the inode happens to be
regular.
Keep the redundant path_noexec() check even though it's mindless
nonsense checking for guarantee that isn't given so drop the WARN.
Reword the commentary and do small tidy ups while here.

When opening a file for exec via do_filp_open(), permission checking is
done against the file's metadata at that moment, and on success, a file
pointer is passed back. Much later in the execve() code path, the file
metadata (specifically mode, uid, and gid) is used to determine if/how
to set the uid and gid. However, those values may have changed since the
permissions check, meaning the execution may gain unintended privileges.
For example, if a file could change permissions from executable and not
set-id:
---------x 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
to set-id and non-executable:
---S------ 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
it is possible to gain root privileges when execution should have been
disallowed.
While this race condition is rare in real-world scenarios, it has been
observed (and proven exploitable) when package managers are updating
the setuid bits of installed programs. Such files start with being
world-executable but then are adjusted to be group-exec with a set-uid
bit. For example, "chmod o-x,u+s target" makes "target" executable only
by uid "root" and gid "cdrom", while also becoming setuid-root:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
becomes:
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
But racing the chmod means users without group "cdrom" membership can
get the permission to execute "target" just before the chmod, and when
the chmod finishes, the exec reaches brpm_fill_uid(), and performs the
setuid to root, violating the expressed authorization of "only cdrom
group members can setuid to root".
Re-check that we still have execute permissions in case the metadata
has changed. It would be better to keep a copy from the perm-check time,
but until we can do that refactoring, the least-bad option is to do a
full inode_permission() call (under inode lock). It is understood that
this is safe against dead-locks, but hardly optimal.

This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into

When argmin was added in commit 655c16a8ce9c ("exec: separate
MM_ANONPAGES and RLIMIT_STACK accounting"), it was intended only for
validating stack limits on CONFIG_MMU[1]. All checking for reaching the
limit (argmin) is wrapped in CONFIG_MMU ifdef checks, though setting
argmin was not. That argmin is only supposed to be used under CONFIG_MMU
was rediscovered recently[2], and I don't want to trip over this again.
Move argmin's declaration into the existing CONFIG_MMU area, and add
helpers functions so the MMU tests can be consolidated.

Back in 2021 we already discussed removing deny_write_access() for
executables. Back then I was hesistant because I thought that this might
cause issues in userspace. But even back then I had started taking some
notes on what could potentially depend on this and I didn't come up with
a lot so I've changed my mind and I would like to try this.
Here are some of the notes that I took:
(1) The deny_write_access() mechanism is causing really pointless issues
such as [1]. If a thread in a thread-group opens a file writable,
then writes some stuff, then closing the file descriptor and then
calling execve() they can fail the execve() with ETXTBUSY because
another thread in the thread-group could have concurrently called
fork(). Multi-threaded libraries such as go suffer from this.
(2) There are userspace attacks that rely on overwriting the binary of a
running process. These attacks are _mitigated_ but _not at all
prevented_ from ocurring by the deny_write_access() mechanism.
I'll go over some details. The clearest example of such attacks was
the attack against runC in CVE-2019-5736 (cf. [3]).
An attack could compromise the runC host binary from inside a
_privileged_ runC container. The malicious binary could then be used
to take over the host.
(It is crucial to note that this attack is _not_ possible with
unprivileged containers. IOW, the setup here is already insecure.)
The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when
starting a container running a specially crafted image. For example,
when runC attaches to a container the attacker can trick it into
executing itself.
This could be done by replacing the target binary inside the
container with a custom binary pointing back at the runC binary
itself. As an example, if the target binary was /bin/bash, this
could be replaced with an executable script specifying the
interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe.
As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container, instead the
target of /proc/self/exe will be executed. That magic link will
point to the runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed
to write to the target of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the
runC binary on the host.
However, this will not succeed because of deny_write_access(). Now,
one might think that this would prevent the attack but it doesn't.
To overcome this, the attacker has multiple ways:
* Open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and
then proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through
/proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to write to it in a busy loop from a
separate process. Ultimately it will succeed when the runC binary
exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can be used
to attack other containers or the host itself.
* Use a malicious shared library annotating a function in there with
the constructor attribute making the malicious function run as an
initializor. The malicious library will then open /proc/self/exe
for creating a new entry under /proc/self/fd/<nr>. It'll then call
exec to a) force runC to exit and b) hand the file descriptor off
to a program that then reopens /proc/self/fd/<nr> for writing
(which is now possible because runC has exited) and overwriting
that binary.
To sum up: the deny_write_access() mechanism doesn't prevent such
attacks in insecure setups. It just makes them minimally harder.
That's all.
The only way back then to prevent this is to create a temporary copy
of the calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to
containers. So what I did back then for LXC (and Aleksa for runC)
was to create an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create()
system call and to copy itself into the temporary in-memory file,
which is then sealed to prevent further modifications. This sealed,
in-memory file copy is then executed instead of the original on-disk
binary.
Any compromising write operations from a privileged container to the
host binary will then write to the temporary in-memory binary and
not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity of the host
binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory binary is sealed, writes to
this will also fail.
The point is that deny_write_access() is uselss to prevent these
attacks.
(3) Denying write access to an inode because it's currently used in an
exec path could easily be done on an LSM level. It might need an
additional hook but that should be about it.
(4) The MAP_DENYWRITE flag for mmap() has been deprecated a long time
ago so while we do protect the main executable the bigger portion of
the things you'd think need protecting such as the shared libraries
aren't. IOW, we let anyone happily overwrite shared libraries.
(5) We removed all remaining uses of VM_DENYWRITE in [2]. That means:
(5.1) We removed the legacy uselib() protection for preventing
overwriting of shared libraries. Nobody cared in 3 years.
(5.2) We allow write access to the elf interpreter after exec
completed treating it on a par with shared libraries.
Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not
completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's
actually the case and not guess.

Patch series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl", v4.
commit 3c6f33b7273a ("mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl") inherits
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag when a task calls execve(). However, it doesn't
create the mm_slot, so ksmd will not try to scan this task. The first
patch fixes the issue.
The second patch refactors to prepare for the third patch. The third
patch extends the selftests of ksm to verfity the deduplication really
happens after fork/exec inherits ths KSM setting.
This patch (of 3):
commit 3c6f33b7273a ("mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl") inherits
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag when a task calls execve(). Howerver, it doesn't
create the mm_slot, so ksmd will not try to scan this task.
To fix it, allocate and add the mm_slot to ksm_mm_head in __bprm_mm_init()
when the mm has MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag.

Add "sched_prepare_exec" tracepoint, which is run right after the point
of no return but before the current task assumes its new exec identity.
Unlike the tracepoint "sched_process_exec", the "sched_prepare_exec"
tracepoint runs before flushing the old exec, i.e. while the task still
has the original state (such as original MM), but when the new exec
either succeeds or crashes (but never returns to the original exec).
Being able to trace this event can be helpful in a number of use cases:
* allowing tracing eBPF programs access to the original MM on exec,
before current->mm is replaced;
* counting exec in the original task (via perf event);
* profiling flush time ("sched_prepare_exec" to "sched_process_exec").
Example of tracing output:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

In NOMMU kernel the value of linux_binprm::p is the offset inside the
temporary program arguments array maintained in separate pages in the
linux_binprm::page. linux_binprm::exec being a copy of linux_binprm::p
thus must be adjusted when that array is copied to the user stack.
Without that adjustment the value passed by the NOMMU kernel to the ELF
program in the AT_EXECFN entry of the aux array doesn't make any sense
and it may break programs that try to access memory pointed to by that
entry.
Adjust linux_binprm::exec before the successful return from the
transfer_args_to_stack().

Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:
- Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
need support for this.
This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
thread.
In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.
A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
refers to a thread-group leader:
(1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
when the task has exited.
For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
thread-group exits.
For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread exits.
(2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.
Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.
The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
of the pidfd.
Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
pidfd_send_signal():
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
Send a thread-specific signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
Send a thread-group directed signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
Send a process-group directed signal.
The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
used for this scope.
For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
used as a process group leader.
- Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.
Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
inode.
The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
deleted when the last pidfd is closed.
We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.
The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().
The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.
- Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
userspace with EPOLLHUP.
- Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
of the confusing EBADF.
- Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.

With this flag:
- pidfd_open() doesn't require that the target task must be
a thread-group leader
- pidfd_poll() succeeds when the task exits and becomes a
zombie (iow, passes exit_notify()), even if it is a leader
and thread-group is not empty.
This means that the behaviour of pidfd_poll(PIDFD_THREAD,
pid-of-group-leader) is not well defined if it races with
exec() from its sub-thread; pidfd_poll() can succeed or not
depending on whether pidfd_task_exited() is called before
or after exchange_tids().
Perhaps we can improve this behaviour later, pidfd_poll()
can probably take sig->group_exec_task into account. But
this doesn't really differ from the case when the leader
exits before other threads (so pidfd_poll() succeeds) and
then another thread execs and pidfd_poll() will block again.
thread_group_exited() is no longer used, perhaps it can die.

Jann Horn points out that uselib() really shouldn't trigger the new
FMODE_EXEC logic introduced by commit 4759ff71f23e ("exec: __FMODE_EXEC
instead of in_execve for LSMs").
In fact, it shouldn't even have ever triggered the old pre-existing
logic for __FMODE_EXEC (like the NFS code that makes executables not
need read permissions). Unlike a real execve(), that can work even with
files that are purely executable by the user (not readable), uselib()
has that MAY_READ requirement becasue it's really just a convenience
wrapper around mmap() for legacy shared libraries.
The whole FMODE_EXEC bit was originally introduced by commit
b500531e6f5f ("[PATCH] Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flag"), primarily to
give ETXTBUSY error returns for distributed filesystems.
It has since grown a few other warts (like that NFS thing), but there
really isn't any reason to use it for uselib(), and now that we are
trying to use it to replace the horrid 'tsk->in_execve' flag, it's
actively wrong.
Of course, as Jann Horn also points out, nobody should be enabling
CONFIG_USELIB in the first place in this day and age, but that's a
different discussion entirely.

No point in allocating a new mm, counting arguments and environment
variables etc if we're just going to return ENOENT.
This patch does expose the fact that 'do_filp_open()' that execve() uses
is still unnecessarily expensive in the failure case, because it
allocates the 'struct file *' early, even if the path lookup (which is
heavily optimized) fails.
So that remains an unnecessary cost in the "no such executable" case,
but it's a separate issue. Regardless, I do not want to do _both_ a
filename_lookup() and a later do_filp_open() like the origin patch by
Josh Triplett did in [1].

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work.
In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to
remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/
directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as
those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect
also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to
see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the
struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have
suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for
v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for
further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer
as he has moved on to other projects and has had no time to help at
all"

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

For the stack move happening in shift_arg_pages(), the move is happening
within the same VMA which spans the old and new ranges.
In case the aligned address happens to fall within that VMA, allow such
moves and don't abort the mremap alignment optimization.
In the regular non-stack mremap case, we cannot allow any such moves as
will end up destroying some part of the mapping (either the source of the
move, or part of the existing mapping). So just avoid it for stack moves.

xchg originated in 6e399cd144d8 ("prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file
serialization"). While the commit message does not explain *why* the
change, I found the original submission [1] which ultimately claims it
cleans things up by removing dependency of exe_file on the semaphore.
However, fe69d560b5bd ("kernel/fork: always deny write access to current
MM exe_file") added a semaphore up/down cycle to synchronize the state of
exe_file against fork, defeating the point of the original change.
This is on top of semaphore trips already present both in the replacing
function and prctl (the only consumer).
Normally replacing exe_file does not happen for busy processes, thus
write-locking is not an impediment to performance in the intended use
case. If someone keeps invoking the routine for a busy processes they are
trying to play dirty and that's another reason to avoid any trickery.
As such I think the atomic here only adds complexity for no benefit.
Just write-lock around the replacement.
I also note that replacement races against the mapping check loop as
nothing synchronizes actual assignment with with said checks but I am not
addressing it in this patch. (Is the loop of any use to begin with?)

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

This finishes the job of always holding the mmap write lock when
extending the user stack vma, and removes the 'write_locked' argument
from the vm helper functions again.
For some cases, we just avoid expanding the stack at all: drivers and
page pinning really shouldn't be extending any stacks. Let's see if any
strange users really wanted that.
It's worth noting that architectures that weren't converted to the new
lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper function are left using the legacy
"expand_stack()" function, but it has been changed to drop the mmap_lock
and take it for writing while expanding the vma. This makes it fairly
straightforward to convert the remaining architectures.
As a result of dropping and re-taking the lock, the calling conventions
for this function have also changed, since the old vma may no longer be
valid. So it will now return the new vma if successful, and NULL - and
the lock dropped - if the area could not be extended.

This is a small step towards a model where GUP itself would not expand
the stack, and any user that needs GUP to not look up existing mappings,
but actually expand on them, would have to do so manually before-hand,
and with the mm lock held for writing.
It turns out that execve() already did almost exactly that, except it
didn't take the mm lock at all (it's single-threaded so no locking
technically needed, but it could cause lockdep errors). And it only did
it for the CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, since in that case GUP has
obviously never expanded the stack downwards.
So just make that CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case do the right thing with
locking, and enable it generally. This will eventually help GUP, and in
the meantime avoids a special case and the lockdep issue.
